Beard. Mustache-Chin-Side-No
Now, surprising young woman of slight
build, dark eyes and light hair boards the over
land train. She hands her ticket to the hurry
ing conductor. who, before returning the paste
board to her. sizes up his passenger. and with
his little punch cuts holes in the words male,
medium" stout" middle aged" elderly !"
slight. dark, !" "moustache," chin" and side"
But all women are not SO easy to describe, as
the young person we have supposed. There are
women who sometimes travel and whom it
to set down "stout" and elderly" It is not
every woman who has got pretty well along in
years. and whose PHYSICAL development is
ample and full that would thank every body
and stout" They themselves probably do not
realize, sometimes, that their description should
not be simply mature" or "girlish" and
plump" or even ethereal" If the photogra-
duty, as We sometimes fear may be the with
most of our New England conductors, he would
fatter the females Of uncertain ages and
irregular outlines. But such course might
not only lose him his place. but might also
subject the vanity-fed and falsely described
passengers to the indignIty of being elected
from the train when it should be turned
to a grouter and sterner conductor
Then there is the journeying youth who
br1stles all over with Importance, but whose
downy lip refuses to bristle with nustache
The conductor would make an unrelenting en-
envy whenever he accurately described any such
passengers these. Furthermore, what sort
of a show does the red headed girl have under
this system2 Will her hair be punched eight"
or s'dark2"
We feel tina. this is carrying the ticket punch
trif1e too far. 1t may serve we'll enough TO
cancel tickets and check the conductors liber-
atty to himself, but when it seeks to usurp the
place of the camera or the palette its pernicious
activity becomes quite too much for the human
land passengers are doing little punching On
their own hook.

FATAL ROLLER EXPLOSION.
Five Persons KILLED, Others Injured.

PHILADELPHIA, December l6. "A
special 10 the Record from West
chester says An explosion of an
eighty.horse power boiler Of the Ed
son Electric-Light Company this after
noon caused the death Of five persons
and the injury of about three others.
About a quarter TO 4 o'clock the fireman
had just put on fresh fuel and had
closed the furnace door when
the boiler. which was one OF q
series of four, exploded. The boiler
was lifted from It's foundations and pro-
PEELED some thirty feet from It's location,
passing through the base of newly
erected ninetyfeet high stack, which in
stantly fell. Superintendent Walter
Embree was engaged with n force of
men close to the stack unloading
new boiler, and the whole party
was buried beneath the falling bricks.
Rescuing parties were Immediately
organized and the bodies of I'm
bree and Wood Beckett, labOrers,
were taken out. Edward Schofeld la
borer, who was badly scalded 10y steam
from his waist downward; William
Allison, laborer. and William Ricbald-
son, fireman, were found still alive,
though mere or less Injured. Hattie, a
-year-old daughter Of William Jones,
who was returning from school at
point distant almost a square
from the scene of the explosion, was
almost instantly killed by flying beam.
Large pieces Of iron were thrown great
distances, and in descending passed
through the roofs of houses. Much
damage was inflicted on the residence OF
James c. Phipps. nearly opposite the
electric-light works, and all the
property in the vicinity suffered
to some degree. As some extra
laborers were employed in unloading an
old boiler it is thought that all the bodies
have not been recovered, and n large
force of men Is tonight digging overt the
ruins by lantern-light. The streets are
enveloped in darkness and great gloom
prevails through the borough.

SAN RENO, December 16.--The new
growth which has made its appearance
in the throat of the Crown Prince is
not of cancerous nature. IL causes no
difficulty in breathing. No operation is
deemed necessary at present The right
side OF the larynx is wholly sound.
A number of inhabitants OF Zillerthal,
in Tyrol, sent an address Of sympathy to
the Crown Prince, TO which q la1y-in-
waiting to the Crown Princess replied.
She said "The Prince desires to return
his thanks for your address. The uni
versal sympathy shown greatly comforts
him. We almost believe that the sin
cere wishes and prayers in his behalf
have had healing influence. To the
doctors surprise his health is wonder
fully good. The swelling, which APP
peared three weeks ago, has normally
healed. So far there Is no trace of a fresh
growth, but owing to the unanimous opin-
ion of the doctors, we may yet dare to
hope. We must be thankful for every
day that passes without fresh symptoms.
Since the Crown Prince has taken TO
open-air exercise he has fresh, healthy
complexion. He has grown thinner
since spring, and this gives him an al
most youthful appearance. Any one
seeing him can scarcely believe him to
be lost man. His great tranquility of
mind, almost cheerfulness, inestimably
helps US all

The Mail and Express thinks it worth
while to print half-column editorial
chiefly devoted to an elaboration Of the
great thought that two or three profess
sors other than heads of colleges have
favored the World with their opinions
on the Presidents message. Our acute
contemporary refers to Professor Cald-
well, of Cornell, and Professor rhomp-
son, OF the University OF Pennsylvania,
for whom the World has not claimed
higher dignity than the Mail and En-
press allows them. The superior qualili-
cations OF our hypercritical contemporary
for enlightening its little public as to the
faculty personnel OF our educational
institutions are disclosed in ITS express
sion of "strong doubts as to the exist
ence of Richmond College, Richmond,
Va" To set his mind at rest and to
avert any further display OF its ignorance
we may remark to the Mail and Express
that Richmond College is the leading
college of the southern Baptist denomi-
nation probably the largest religious or
ganization in the South; that its alumni

TROUBLE AMONG PYTmIANs.
Conflict Between the Supreme Cham
ceIiOr and Grand Lodges.

CTNCINNATI, December 16.-Though
the officers of the Knights of Pythias
have been very retcent it has become
known that there is possibility Of
trouble to come. IL appears that some
time ago Supreme Chancellor Howard
Douglas instructed all the grand lodges
TO change their constitutions SO as to
be in accord with the supreme laws,
and pointed out wherein there were dis
cIepancies. AS far as heard from all the
States excepting Illinois, Nebraska, Della
ware, Oregon, and Pennsylvania had
complied. To-day Illinois came in as
requested. The Supreme Chancellor has
issued notice to the Grand Lodge OF
Pennsylvania informing them that II his
instructions are not complied with he
will suspend that grand jurisdiction. In
the case OF Illinois Supreme Chancellor
Douglas has TO face the very
strongest opposition n the Grand
Lodge. Both the SUI RENE represen
tatives, George w. herdman and
Il. G. Brace, together with Grand
Keeper of = Records and Seal Henry
Z. Caldwell, cast their influence
against the authority OF the Supreme
Chancellor. The Grand Chancellor took
the loyal side, and has promulgated his
order, complying fully with all the re-
quirements OF the Supreme Chancellor
Pennsylvania has refused, and, as before
stated, has been given notice to obey or
be suspended. This time, it is stated,
they have TO deal with a man with as
much courage and pluck as was ever pos
sessed by Samuel Read or Henry Clay
